A typical organization can be characterized as ________
A) a one-way system
B) a closed system
C) an open system
D) a virtual system
Answer: C
Explanation: An organization is not a one-way or a closed system since information flows freely both in and out of the system. This characterizes the organization as an open system in which inputs come in and outputs flow out, making "an open system" the correct response. "A virtual system" is not correct because the organization is a real entity, so it is not virtual in any way.
